quotes from an essay on the Forest Interests

The paper referred to shows that periodic

Of the country. In speaking Of the great crops
the early forefathers raised from their new soil
and the influence of moisture from the surround

1t is true we read OF their occasional failure by
reason Of drouths: and 1t 10 certain that drouths
occurred then ss well ~ now. But In judging Of
their frequency and intensity we are to bear In
mind that the blowing OF early days was the
nerest scratching Of the surface. That little or

would prove uniform failures.

Under the head of California and The

Gonyepuon OF 1883; Philadelphia has pa
thetcally urged her claims; New York has
shown conclusively to every man wEo
THINKS twice that it ought to be held here
and the Democrats of the Pacific slope are
anxious TO extend to it the hospitalitjes of
San francisco. California is worth think
ing about. 1t IS one of the most marnifi-
cent States OF the Union. Less than forty
years ago It w9s a wilderness, but the
hlolng-piace OF gold enough 10 set all crea
ton by the ears, and pretty nearly all
creation packed its gripsack and ioined the
scamble ior nuggets. 1t was a human
menaserie for while, made up of the
widest elements Of all nationalities. but
when the craze subsided the people rolled
up their sleeves, built cities, planted vine
yards, established law and order, and in
leoi wheeled INTO line for the old flag and
took their places in the front.
California is one of the richest and most
productive pieces of real estate on the con-
unent. Geographically speaking, it is
numbered among the gients of the United
States. If it should lie down on our sea
board it could lay its head in the lap of
Mayor Hewitt in New York and its feet
would rest in the cotton plantations of
Georgia; and if il had the nightmare il

about halfway along the line running
from the easternmost point of land to the
westernmost owned by the United States,
he would not, probably choose San Fran

take. Drawing line from the western
end of the Aleutian Islands to the eastern

prise that the Golden Gate of the Pacific is
about as near the middle of it as you can
easily get. San Francisco may not get the

the stone dock this morning. The vessel
drew about twenty-six feet of water, but
no difficulty was experienced in docking,
there being plenty of depth of water. The
docking was under the immediate super
vision OF Constructor Joseph Feaster, as
success of the docking was very gratifying
to the yard authorities. 1t is thought it
will result in much benefit to the yard.
The entire cost of docking will be borne
by this Government as an act of courtesy
toward friendly nation. Two workmen
were injured during the docking. Bart.
sweeney had his right leg broken above
the ankle, and Harry Bruce was severely
cut across the right arm. The accident was
caused by the breaking of a gypsy-head to

SALEM, November 22d.-Several DAYS ago
Gov vernon Pennoyer received a request from
United States Fish Commissioner Goode,
through Senator Dolph, asking that the
state Fish Commissioner surrender to the
Government the location on the Clackamas
river for United States salmon hatchery.
To-day Governor Pennoyer wrote a long
letter to Senator Dolph, which he has
allowed to be published. The Governor is
opposed to any hatchery on the Clackamas
river, giving as his reason that the Chinook
salmon will not ascend that far during the
principal months of spawning. He is
utterly opposed to fish-wheels and fish
traps, apd to the canning of what is known
as " dog" salmon
